Lecture Time and Place

TuTh 1:00p.m. - 2:20p.m. in Room W4530 Melville Library

Prerequisite

ESE 305 and ESE 380. Students are expected to know the logic design, digital circuits, signals and systems, and some programming. Some background in computer architecture is helpful but not required.

Textbook

VLSI Digital Signal Processing Systems: Design and Implementation, K. K. Parhi. Wiley and Sons, 1999

Course Goals

This course covers various aspects of architectures in digital signal processing and multimedia data processing. The topics include iteration bound analysis, retiming the circuits, unfolding and folding the architectures, algorithmic and numerical strength reduction for low power and low complexity design, introduction to array processor architectures and CORDIC implementation.

Project

This is a project-oriented course. No specific lab times are scheduled, and you can work at your convenience.
